Howie Mandel Leads ADHD Awareness CampaignPopular game show host Howie Mandel raises awareness for attention deficit disorder through the “Adult ADD is Real” campaign. Thursday January 29th - 12:16pm Filed Under:
Adult ADD: Late Diagnosis
Like other kids with attention deficit disorder (ADHD), Howie Mandel -- host of the game show Deal or No Deal -- had trouble focusing in class and controlling his impulses, which led to all kinds of trouble at school. Mandel wasn’t diagnosed with ADHD until he was an adult and the diagnosis came as a big relief. Now, Mandel wants the public to know that ADHD is a real and treatable disease and that it is never too late to seek help.
